Birds Of Bali (1 Viewer)

Birding in Bali for the first time and I would love some help identifying, or confirming the identification of some birds. Thanks in advance.

These first shots were taken in Denpasar. Are they Cave Swiftlets?

I suspect Cave Swiftlet Collocalia linch, this is what I wrote after I saw some here last year:
"Cave Swiftlet Collocalia linchi
I had problems here, some white-bellied swiftlets to the wastewater plant were bright glossy blue above and sure looked like Glossy Swiftlet to me; others seen later at the other sites were much duller, light brownish above basically with a white belly, presumably Cave Swiftlet. There were about 10 of them over the bay on the boat trip, and again in the paddies next day".
